As a Brier Island resident, born here over 60 years ago this is my slant =
on this topic: I beleive all the long time residents of Westport & =
Freeport call Peters Island, Peters Island. This is the traditional name =
used when this island is refered to. Why should an outside, so called =
authority, give the island another name or have the authority to do so? =
It would be like calling Halifax, Halifix. What a riot that would cause. =
I think the maping people & the Gazetter of Canada should amend the name =
they have given Peters Island.=20
